Six yards!! Strength

Neha Surana Bhandari Shampa Ghoshal Roy

Six yards they say, the limit I can’t trespass. When I will be dull, shabby and dark
I laugh and say the whole world I encompass. Will you be my stars and let me spark
The red bindi I wear, not tradition but my flare, When emotions engulfs me and I am low
shining between my eyes like a divine glare. Will you be the mild wind and gently blow
Don’t confuse the moonlight in my hair as dishevelled or sloppy. When silence embraces me
It’s my intelligence peeping conspicuously, which is not a copy. And I couldn't express
Red lips need not define, if I am classy, Will you be my words and let it flow
my gestures will rest those condemning arches. When I will be disturbed and tired of fights
I am not loud or blatant with my words perhaps Will you kiss my forehead
Who said, thesaurus needs to scream to have an effect? And held me tight
Alas! My sentences will fall on those ears, When everyone leaves me
Who will fold hands who once questioned my fears? No one by my side
Will you be there to say
That's everything will be alright....
